Press release
The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Serbia strongly condemns the trilateral meeting between representatives of Albania, Croatia, and the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government in Priština, whose aim is to deepen military cooperation and coordination, including concrete plans and activities of a security nature.
Such actions represent a blatant disregard for and a serious violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 and the Kumanovo Military Technical Agreement. Kosovo and Metohija is an integral part of the Republic of Serbia, under a temporary UN administration, and KFOR remains the sole legitimate armed formation in the territory of Kosovo and Metohija, with a clearly defined mandate.
Efforts to further institutionalize and strengthen the so-called Kosovo Security Force through regional military arrangements represent a direct attack on the international legal order and pose a serious threat to peace and stability in the region. Such actions can potentially lead to long-term security consequences and destabilize the situation in the Western Balkans.
The Republic of Serbia views this military alliance as an instrument of pressure and a security risk to Serbia and the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija. Our country remains committed to safeguarding peace, while clearly stating that it will not allow its vital national and defence interests to be jeopardised.
